It's been a while since you left St. Joe
I still tell myself you gotta feel the same way
I'll get a letter very soon I know
So I'm fast today and ask them at the relay
And they say: Nay! Why don't she answer?

There's nothing I can do if it don't get through
Blame it on the pony express
Nothing I can say if it goes astray, yeah
Blame it on the pony express
Come on

I only pray that the long delays
Doesn't mean that I've lost the heart I had a claim on
But if they stay on the homeward trail
I know there's gonna be a letter with my name on
How can I go on with you, girl

There's nothing I can do if it don't get through
Blame it on the pony express
Nothing I can say if it goes astray, yeah
Blame it on the pony express
Honey, it you're lonely, blame it on the pony express

Listen
Cherokee, Pawnee, Navajo Indian
It's such a long way from St. Joe to Sacramento
I've tried not to worry, but my heart is in a hurry
So ride just as fast as you can, yeah

There's nothing I can do if it don't get through
Blame it on the pony express
Nothing I can say if it goes astray, yeah
Blame it on the pony express
Honey, it you're lonely, blame it on the pony express ....
